[Editorial] I Need Romance: The Comparison

The idea of
making this post is actually came in the middle of watching I Need Romance 3. From
my perspective, all of INR series has each specialties and strength that are
hard to distinguish from one to another. So, I ask myself ‘Why not compare it and decide who the
winner?’ that is why I make this post.

ps. It came from
my personal taste, so if anyone think the answer is not right, it’s ok ;)

I will divide
the comparison into 10 sections, which basically based on every aspect from the
drama itself. Here we go~

BEST PLOT:

I would have to
say the original I Need Romance is the winner, when it comes to the PLOT or
STORYLINE. INR 1 has the best plot that depicts the real reason of why they
need something called Romance in life. The love story and complication of 10
year on-off relationship between Sunwoo In Young and Kim Sung Soo is always the
best one for me.

BEST SUB-PLOT:

I’m torn between
Jung Hee Jae-Lee Woo Young or Kang Hyun Joo-Kim Deok Soo relationship story as
the best SUB-PLOT. But Jung Hee Jae-Lee WooYoung cute yet silly relationship is
the winner at last. To be honest, when watching I Need Romance 3, their story
is even more interesting than the main lead story for me. They’re just too cute
to be ignored!

BEST GESTURE:

The best gesture
here refers to any cute act delivered by each character to shows their true
feeling to their loved ones. The winner is certainly ‘I Need Romance 2’. My favorite
gesture of all INR series is when Shin Ji Hoon brought Joo Yeol Mae patbingsu
in the middle of the night just when she said she want to eat them. What Shin
Ji Hoon make for Joo Yeol Mae the rest (make Yeol Mae Patbingsu, bought her a bicycle, etc.)
is one of the sweetest act a man can do.

BEST SISTERHOOD:

The best
sisterhood or bond between the characters goes to I Need Romance. The bond
between Sun Woo In Young, Park Seo Yeon, and Kang Hyeon Joo is unquestionably
the best sisterhood this series ever made. They really look like a real family.

BEST LINES:

The Best Lines
goes to I Need Romance 2. This second series of INR has many meaningful lines
that blown my heart away. Each line delivered by each character success left a
print in my heart. Some lines are even makes me smile in agreement.

BEST CAST:

Hello
good-looking faces! Without a doubt, I Need Romance 2 is the best when it came
to the best Cast. It’s a personal choice from me, because rather than judge
them by the acting point, I’m actually judging them by the face. Well, not
entirely to be honest. Some of the cast on I Need Romance 2 also shows a good
act.

BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY:

The winner is
once again, I Need Romance 2. Love the colorings of this series. It is bright
and sometime dim; portray the exact situation of how the love life of Joo Yeol
Mae – the main lead – has.

BEST SET:

Fourth in a row, I Need Romance 2 wins
it. Joo Yeol Mae- Yoon Seok Hyun’s house is the winner of three main lead houses.
I even consider this house as my future house. The other set I love from I Need Romance
2 is Shin Ji Hoon’s cafe and his room upstairs.

BEST OST:

The best
original soundtrack goes to I Need Romance 3. The music from this series is
left the most print in my head. I can’t stop singing and rhyming songs from
this series. Especially ‘Love Story 2’ by Park Min Ha. Love love love.

BEST WARDORBE:

The winner is
definitely I Need Romance 3. The fact that the main lead work at the home
shopping channel and work with a style director is the exact answer why they’re
wearing such a fashionable clothes and rule out INR & INR2 fashion/
wardrobe.
